I’ve distilled how to quickly size up a business in 5 questions. We call them “Truly Great Questions: Level 1”

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

My latest blog post unpacks these questions:
1. Who are you selling to?
2. What are they buying?
3. Why you?
4. How will you profitably and sustainably deliver on that promise?
5. How do you measure success?

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

Simplicity isn’t sexy, but it’s powerful. I wrote about the Rule of 1 and how it helps founders cut through the chaos. https://t.co/oRS818bDOr

@levelsio VC/PE ok if you can get tax free incentives… (which you can get for some structures in Australia)

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

@levelsio Still passive… but QQQ? Seems pretty good vs S&P over 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 years…

No Brand is hiring a Financial Analyst! If you're looking to gain exposure to venture capital, private equity, and various technology-enabled opportunities in Australia, this role is perfect for anyone looking to build experience in these fields. https://t.co/9JSqRLVegT

@AlexHormozi Agree. I like the value stick frame. Brand increases customers willingness to pay, and lowers employee/suppliers willingness to sell.

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

@levie 💯 and revenue per employee could be closer to $5m (than $500k for traditional SaaS)

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

One of the companies I’m an investor in recently shared a slide showing (I’m paraphrasing) “10 full-time employees and 20 full-time employee equivalents (AI agents).”

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

An AI for every role

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

Just as there are people with specific skills, there will be specially trained AI agents for almost every role in an organisation. Some roles will have an AI counterpart, while others will adopt a code-first approach.

Setting the right threshold of attainment for OKRs can vary depending on the context and what’s going on in the company

[Ari Klinger @Ariklinger]

The TAG principle is useful around setting expectations, particularly between CEOs, leadership teams, and boards or shareholders about what mode the company is in and the level of ambition and confidence for the current targets.
